Amazing job! It is really responsive… I love the sequencer and the new reverbs (new alghorithm?) They sound really clean… Hats off here!

DDspeed: thankyou!

Awesome. Excellent interface, especially with all the keyboard shortcuts listed when the mouse moves over any interface. All boxes now can have text entered manually instead of having to click on the arrow… and i agree, the new reverbs sound great.

The new pattern editor is great, took about 2 seconds to figure out… now I can finally really start to use renoise for live performance, editing pattern sequences without changing the pattern that’s currently playing. And I just noticed the render selection to sample option… seriously useful items.

OMG! 1.5 is sweet !!!

:)

Multi output is not supported yet. Taktik had no time finishing it for this release.

the good:
what a freakin’ good job you did with v1.5.
it’s really gorgeous - the new (splendid looking) GUI, the pattern sequencer (with patternnames), the render to sample option, the enhanced sample editor (undo function, variable volume), the new native reverb, the context sensitive menues and so on and so forth…
this is a very promising alpha version, which of course, still harbours some bugs and issues, but as soon as these are gone, we should’ve the most wonderful tracking tool ever created.
renoise 1.281 was and is awesome, but this is most probably going to be the climax of modern tracking.
all my respect and available thumbs up! :walkman:

the bad:
personally, the greatest disappointment with 1.5 is the incompatibility (severe performance loss) with Intel’s HyperThreading… please please please get this fixed for the final, elsewhat it’ll be a true pain to always switch from HT=ON to HT=OFF from within the BIOS.

thanks for everything.

What’s the problem? I haven’t tested the 1.5 much yet, but so far I’ve noticed no performance issues. And I have HT. If anything, 1.5 is faster than before.

Renoise 1.5 is faster for me as well with HT enabled. :walkman:

Ouh, lovely GUI, fast and even the mixing is faster than in 181.
I checked a song that would hardly run on a P-III-500 and it ran much better on 1.5 . But there are some differences playing the 181-mods.
I have to check out a lot. No, I need to sleep. What an alpha, I need to sleep.
And thanks that you devs did care about selfmade beat shuffles!
You can choose if VST’s should get Speed&BPM or just BPM for sync.
You guys really care a lot. Thank you so much.

Edit: not 181, 1.281! I need to sleep.

JUHHUUUUU

dance dance

:w00t: :w00t: :dribble:

HEY!!! Did you notice new effects??? mpReverb and MixerEQ. They’re great!!!


YEAH!!
:w00t: :w00t: :w00t:

I’ve been playing with Renoise 1.5 all day (after not sleeping last night), and these are my findings so far, in random order:

First, it’s been said before, but goddamnit you guys created a rocking interface! VERY nice! The ability to show / hide the panels is just genius, and I love the slick looking metal backdrop :)
It took a while to get used to the new drag-and-drop functionality, but once I did, it felt awesome and saved a bit of time.

The delay sounds a bit different, and produces a delay that’s not quite what I expected. It sounds as if the delay starts too soon, and the left/right values are different even if I set them to be the same.

mpReverb - I LOVE IT. A really nice addition to the standard set of DSPs.

I’ve had six or seven crashes so far, but hey, it’s an alpha, I wouldn’t expect anything else. I’ll try to narrow down when those crashes happen and file a bug report.
But: Every time Renoise crashed the song was saved. This is WAY better than in Renoise 1.28 ;)

Overall, you guys have made me a very happy man and I’ll probably be using Renoise 1.5 despite the crashes. Good job!

:walkman:

edit:

YES!
Awesome, I didn’t even notice… this is great!

Register now and you’ll get the alpha :D

You know what? I just went to the order page and was preparing myself to buy it, when I noticed something:

“Please note that the total for European Union customers is EUR 45.77 including 17.5% VAT”

What the hell!?!! Why do europeans have to pay more?!?!?!!?

(Just in case you don’t know, $45 = 38,95€.)

Why do we have to pay $55? There’s no S&H!

(Or US customers don’t pay VAT?)

There’s already a button for that. :)

(Yes, that means I just registred Renoise! :w00t: )

Yup, us Europeans pay 17.5% VAT, which goes straight to our respective Governments.
The Americans don’t have, nor pay, VAT.

Excellent work devs! The GUI looks one heck of a hell of a lot easier on the eye, and less cluttered. It looks beautiful!!

Had a few crashes (ie. standard Windows system errors). First when trying to load Renoise from a 800x600 desktop (easily rectified by switching to 1024x768 prior to loading).

It’s also taking 1 min 17 secs for Renoise v1.5 to load up, as opposed to just 9 secs for Renoise v1.281. It seems to spend a very long time “loading the keybindings”. I have a 700MHz Athlon with 384MB Ram, and am running Windows 98se.

Been locked out cold (ie. the program froze, requiring a Ctrl+Alt+Del shutdown of the prog) several times, one of which happens every time I go to select a Midi CC as a Meta Device prior to creating an automated envelope.

Great, though, that a bug I had with my old 1.281 version that crashed every time I tried to run Renoise in a window has been seemingly corrected for this version, and great to see Renoise working within the Windows environment when at full screen.

Will check it out more tomorrow!

Thnx,

Timo

well it seems that your hyperthreading does not interfere with renoise 1.5, whereas mine, and the one of some other users does.
but it’s a fact that it is related to HT, because turning it off from within the BIOS fixes all slowdown-problems for me.
this is not a diserable workaround of course.

and johan, i guess you know the related thread in the bugforum - so it’s not just me and my crappy system exhibiting such behaviour with HT enabled :blink:
